Late summer breeze through open blinds

Freshly cut grass and porch light left behind

The world grew quiet as the moon rose high

Just your breath and mine, aligned

No need for words between our hearts

Your fingers traced stories on my arms

The night didn't speak, but held us tight

Like we were all that mattered tonight

No promises made, no grand demands

Just fingers drawing maps on hands

I didn't need to hear your thoughts

I felt the velvet in the dark

The softest silence we've ever known

More honest than words we've ever shown

No spotlight needed, no rehearsed parts

Just pure velvet in the dark

You moved like moonlight across my skin

Your silence told me everything within

I learned your heart without a sound

Never have I slept so profound

You didn't say you loved me then

But your hands confessed again and again

The language of touch spoke so clear

Worth more than words I'd ever hear

No promises made, no grand demands

Just fingers drawing maps on hands

I didn't need to hear your thoughts

I felt the velvet in the dark

The softest silence we've ever known

More honest than words we've ever shown

No spotlight needed, no rehearsed parts

Just pure velvet in the dark

I've known louder loves and brighter days

Been in rooms where everyone knows my name

But none as true as that gentle space

Where we let time slow its pace

In the loudest moments when life screams by

I still crave that hush, that lullaby

Of two souls meeting without disguise

Under nothing but starlit skies

No promises made, no grand demands

Just fingers drawing maps on hands

I didn't need to hear your thoughts

I felt the velvet in the dark

Even now when nights fall hard

When distance keeps us worlds apart

I close my eyes to find my heart

Still wrapped in velvet in the dark

Still wrapped in velvet in the dark
